What's disappointing is the response of the non-coporate world. Electronic mind-candy moderators like Ted Koppel started reporting PGA's "dark secret" of playing golf games in all-white clubs. They interviewed self-appointed spokespeople for Blacks who acted as if there were scores of Black golf players waiting to pay for membership to these clubs...
...contretemps with Jews threatened to flare anew after a televised "town meeting" presided over by Nightline's Ted Koppel. Mandela had kind words again for Arafat, Castro and even Libya's Muammar Gaddafi. They "support our struggle to the hilt," was his explanation.

The idea is catching on, though even the most wild-eyed conspiracy mongers concede they have no evidence to support their claims. When filmmaker Spike Lee appeared on ABC's Nightline, for example, Ted Koppel asked him to back up his charge that it is "no mistake that a majority of drugs in this country is being deposited in black and Hispanic and low-income neighborhoods." Lee could point only to a scene in the movie The Godfather, in which a Mafia don decides...
